Comfort

Öhlins® Mono Shock® EC rear suspensionThe Öhlins® Mono Shock EC rear suspension is highlighted by a push-button activated, electronically-controlled Öhlins® shock. Owners can access the tuning function and readout by pressing the “Mode” button on the gauge. Once in suspension mode, the shock is adjusted by toggling the left side handgrip warmer button. While in suspension mode, the gauge will display the adjustment level, too. While the Öhlins® Mono Shock EC rear suspension delivers full range compression adjustability from handlebar, the rebound is adjustable via a clicker on the shock body.

Tall, lightweight seatThe Apex GT seat has been specifically built for the rider who likes to put on a lot of miles in comfort. The lightweight seat features a roomy cargo space. The height of the rough trail seat makes it even easier to go from sitting to standing, while the firm foam provides extra comfort. In 2008, it features a color band to match the sled’s lines and 40th Anniversary graphics.

Wide runningboards with star-punched tractionThe Apex GT’s wide runningboards feature star-punched traction throughout their entire length. The boards also have an outer traction roll for additional sure footing. As an added benefit, the traction holes help evacuate snow and slush from the runningboard, delivering additional confidence and comfort.

Digital gauge with extensive data featuresThe Apex GT features a digital gauge array that displays a wide variety of data. Readouts include barometric measurements, dual trip meters and a clock. The digital gauge also serves as a readout and control center for the Öhlins® Mono Shock EC suspension. In addition to the functions, the gauge has been styled to match the aggressive lines of the body work and console area.

Standard electric startYamaha’s electric starter system allows consumers to fire up their Apex GT with the turn of a key. There is no pulling on a nylon cord to get this high-tech engine growling! Electric start is a standard feature on all of Yamaha’s 4-stroke machines.

Handling

Deltabox™ II with comfortable rider-forward positionThe primary design objective of the Deltabox II chassis was to create a comfortable rider-forward posture. The ergonomic treatment is achieved by locating the handlebars and seated position high and forward on the chassis. With this positioning, the rider can go from sitting to standing and back again easily and comfortably. It also further centralizes the combined mass of sled and driver, for razor-sharp handling.

Second generation front suspension geometryThe geometry of the second generation front suspension features short spindles and long A-arms. The suspension was engineered to deliver excellent cornering stability and consistent turning effort throughout its travel stroke. It delivers 9 inches of vertical travel and sets the skis at 42.7 inches. Steering is consistent, because the spindles are maintained at a constant 23 degrees.

Tall, wide, hooked handlebarsTo match the tall and forward position, a single-piece, dual-hooked handlebar is standard fare on the Apex GT. The hooks have the same grip material as the main bar section, for consistent control, regardless of hand position on the grip.

Integrated airbox / small hoodThe design on the Apex GT is very efficient, often integrating many functions into one component. One such example is the use of the airbox as a part of the hood design. The upper element, closest to the headlight, is comprised of the silencer cover for the airbox. This design feature allows for a very small hood piece, which keeps weight low.

Magnesium chaincaseThe Apex GT features a lightweight magnesium chaincase. The exotic material is a pound lighter than the previously used aluminum chaincase on other models.

Performance

Genesis® 150FI 4-stroke engineThe Genesis 150FI 4-cylinder engine is designed to build high horsepower and keep weight low. It cranks out about eight additional horsepower over its forebear, the Genesis Extreme™, to hit 150 horsepower-class performance. It also weighs 7 pounds less than the Genesis Extreme. The engine’s high-tech fuel injection system delivers quick, crisp throttle response and as a bonus it runs significantly cleaner than most snowmobile engines on the market today.

Advanced fuel injection systemMore than just a bolt-on part of the Genesis 150FI, the advanced fuel injection system required a full engine redesign. The low-pressure system uses an injector and butterfly valve throttle body to aid in delivering outrageously crisp throttle response, 150 horsepower production and excellent fuel economy.

Lightweight rear-exiting titanium exhaustThe exhaust pipes coming out of the Genesis 150FI engine are configured in a 4-2-1-2 design. The exhaust, featuring titanium head pipes, adds to the engine’s higher output and also reduces weight. The patented rear exit design serves many performance-enhancing functions. First, it cools the pipe by running it down the tunnel, where it can be snow-cooled. Second, it reduces the amount of under-hood heat produced. Third, the rear-exiting design distributes weight to contribute to the excellent balance of the sled.

Lightweight forged crankshaftThe forged crankshaft in the Genesis 150FI is 2.2 pounds lighter than the original in the Genesis Extreme. This is a large contributing factor in the Apex GT’s razor-sharp throttle response.

15 x 121 x 1.25-inch Camoplast® Rip Saw™ trackThe Camoplast® Rip Saw™ track is a standard feature on the Apex GT. It has been widely acclaimed in the industry as the best all-around OEM track for acceleration, cornering bite and everyday trail usage. The Rip Saw™ track development is the result of a collaborative effort between Yamaha and Camoplast.
